Fall is in full swing, and that means pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin until can’t take it anymore. Then just when you are sick of pumpkin everything switches to peppermint and eggnog. But, we’ve got a couple months left of fall (technically), so don’t bust out the candy canes yet because we’ve got a lot more pumpkin to get through.

This is a unique recipe because it incorporates cayenne pepper to give the brownies just a little zing. Pumpkin is very versatile, especially when combined with chocolate, and the cayenne is the perfect thing to spice it up.
